KFC to sell deep-fried corn soup

With an apparent nod to the growing fried food state fair obsession in the U.S., KFC Japan announced it will be offering a deep-fried soup product this month.

The chain will somehow cover its soup corn potage --a creamy soup snack --with a deep fried crust, not unlike the like the fry masters do at the State Fair of Texas who came up with Deep Fried Kool-Aid or Deep Fried Coke.

The deep fried soup will be available for a limited time only at KFC locations across Japan starting Sept. 5.

The result is a crisp corn fritter you can pick up with chopsticks, but has a creamy and soft center.

Its secret recipe and technique remain somewhat of a secret, but a KFC source told Rocketnews24: "We bread the corn potage and cook it to a crisp."
